Pandora's Armor WIP

Pandora from Saint Seiya

This cosplay armor was created using Expanded PVC board, I used Sintra this go round. I used a 3MM board, and in most of the armor I doubled up the main template sheet, as well as another sheet which was sanded down into the main piece to give the beveled appearance.

After the template pieces were cut out, and trimmed to fit each other, I slightly dremeled the edges to give it a slightly smoother appearance. After the edges were ground into each other I heated up each piece for molding. I did use an oven for this, rather than a heat gun.

Once molding was complete, which took several attempts on each item, they were sanded down and smoothed out using several grades of sandpaper. After sanding was complete they were good for primer, more sanding, wetsanding and finally paint... and then more sanding - and finally clearcoat.

I hope you like! Keep an eye out for my Sintra tutorial which I'll be posting up soon!
